I remember Minksie well from back in the early '80's valley days...And what a cool guy he is! Would also love to hear from "Crusher" Bartlett as well, he and the "Fatties" (Strappo, and Roger Whitehead) were all pals of mine!

I , me ,myself , and i , remember seeing this movie at the elks center in Long Beach back in 76 about this ascent of the eiger...Peter Minks, unroped....and unemployed ..(chuckles from the audience of smoked-out climbers) , takes a big slide and arrests himself from certain death...at some point the mention of packing loads ( stonemaster lore) drips off the soundtrack...a roar explodes from the crowd...idyllwild....Geoff Morgans pad....Let's listen to some umma gumma Peter....? ..Minks....that stuff puts me to sleep....Mono lake....1979...see minks tromping thru the sage at the 4th of july fireworks....haven't seen him since...? Tahoe...isn't that by Grindlewald?
